113th floor.
Once lost time is found… How do you dub the time you spent?
Where you realized time was lost and go about finding it?
Was it the time from clerk to perks to benefits to private jet?
A dedication to work to complete masterpiece… whence
Your original master’s thesis leaves a society’s mind in debt?
One collective mind leads to millions of single actions
A blindness you just couldn’t see’s now a blindness defined by blackness.
A deafness you couldn’t hear’s now a deafness defined by silence…
Yet you have to watch everything that you say…
Your charisma’s defined by shyness.
You’re a single celled report. A dimension defined by 0.
Loser in your search for time in a world defined by heros.
Whoever said its lonely at the top was obviously at the top.
For them to communicate that statement…
What precedes it is a plop.

85th floor.
Do you remember 36 hour span where your love lie alone..
On the couch nervously jumping up at every tri-tone on her iPhone?
Of course iDon’t… cause iWas left abuzz on this floor all night.
Culminating in an early morning party. Deal Done. All Right.
We poured the ’26 Macallan like our lives were entire.
Little did I know my internal tears of joy would simply stifle my fire.
But I’m an actor. To the applause, the promotions, the awards.
The walk home in the bright sun to the chest with empty drawers.
Only one shampoo, one razor, one cell charger, one dish at dinner
One bowl of ice cream watching Conan in only one flavor.
Video kill the radio star. You see this is my luck…
Calling her a blind fuck, a blond fuck, a mind fuck.. I’m awestruck.
Tossing and turning in my bed I had to be at work at nine FUCK!
Flossing and burning in my success I knew when I was there I would be fine but…
It’s getting lonelier at the top and I could still never imagine…
Not being the guy at the top but the firemen having to catch him…

33rd floor.
I can’t believe it’s Christmas with an Armani Tie in my stocking.
My love bought this for me.. Look at all the other girls gawking.
Look at my confidence. It’s brimming. God gave me plenty.
Look at my competition’s tie. Ugly as sin from a JC Penny.
Look at me moving up. This is the East Side. This is no different right?
I remember Louise used to sing this song to me at 11 on Nick at Nite.
Well.. works letting out soon. They’re going to the Olive Garden after.
You going, Jon?
Nah, You know how I get when I drink. It ends up being a disaster.
And my girl she doesn’t mind it. She loves that goofy Conan.
I said goofy not the Barbarian haha. Yeah so I’m just going home then.
Plus we have that meeting in the morning. I’ll touch up my business plan.
Oh you’re all going? I’m gonna stick around late. I guess I’ll see you then.

5th floor 5 years in the past. Interview day. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Before I could answer the question… Cause it’s really a shot in the dark.
My life flashed before my eyes a last time when it was just a walk in the park.
Walking with Char with a lit blunt in my hand. Discussing ghouls I would bang.
Dancing along to Trick Daddy and Trina, G-Funk, n Kool and the Gang.
Depositing my last 30 for 15 2 dollar 2 team parlays
Watching hockey matches on my phone with a Newport and totally R-kay..
With that… hahaha did he just say R-Kay?
Yes, he did. Jonathan’s totally baked.
….
….
….
Yes. That’s about right. That’s the time where I’d black out.
Eventually pass out… DUDE I have an interview tomorrow.
I didn’t come here to ass out….
(AHEM)
“S o you don’t know where you’ll be in five years?” then I said with a pop.
Like any other new comer would say coming into a job…
“Eventually at the top”.

Present day ground floor.
Once lost time is found… How do you dub the time you spent?
Where you realized time was lost and go about finding it?
The quickest way possible. Suicide is painless.
Painless as opposed to loneliness. To stay alive is heinous.
To tread the water is innate. To stay afloat’s a bonus.
Tubes are made to pop- deflate. To leave a mark –s- to clone us.
But when you are the alpha. You always fear the beta.
You’ll scan the whole alphabet. And sigh relief at the omega.
Whoever said its lonely at the top was obviously at the top.
